of_o light_n i_o can_v certain_o tell_v the_o empress_n see_v the_o insufficiency_n of_o those_o magnifying-glass_n that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o enlarge_v all_o sort_n of_o object_n ask_v

or_o such_o as_o be_v between_o something_o and_o nothing_o which_o they_o be_v very_o much_o trouble_v at_o hope_v that_o yet_o in_o time_n by_o long_a study_n and_o practice_n they_o may_v perhaps_o attain_v to_o it_o the_o bird-and_a bear-man_n be_v dismiss_v the_o empress_n call_v both_o the_o syrenes_n or_o fishman_n and_o the_o worm-man_n to_o deliver_v their_o observation_n which_o they_o have_v make_v both_o within_o the_o sea_n and_o the_o earth_n first_o she_o inquire_v of_o the_o fishman_n whence_o the_o saltness_n of_o the_o sea_n do_v proceed_v to_o which_o they_o answer_v that_o

of_o the_o volatile_a salt_n as_o be_v not_o so_o easy_o imbibe_v which_o strive_v to_o ascend_v above_o the_o water_n bear_v it_o up_o with_o such_o a_o motion_n as_o man_n or_o some_o other_o

reply_v the_o empress_n that_o they_o shall_v live_v both_o in_o water_n and_o on_o the_o earth_n since_o those_o animal_n that_o live_v by_o the_o respiration_n of_o air_n can_v live_v within_o water_n and_o those_o that_o live_v in_o water_n can_v live_v by_o the_o respiration_n of_o air_n as_o experience_n do_v sufficient_o witness_v they_o answer_v her_o majesty_n that_o as_o there_o be_v different_a sort_n of_o creature_n so_o they_o have_v also_o different_a way_n of_o respiration_n for_o respiration_n say_v they_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o composition_n and_o division_n of_o part_n and_o the_o motion_n of_o nature_n be_v infinite_o various_a it_o be_v impossible_a that_o all_o creature_n shall_v have_v the_o like_a motion_n wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o all_o animal_n creature_n shall_v be_v bind_v to_o live_v either_o by_o the_o air_n or_o by_o water_n only_o but_o according_a as_o nature_n have_v order_v it_o convenient_a to_o their_o species_n the_o empress_n seem_v very_o well_o satisfy_v with_o their_o answer_n and_o desire_v to_o be_v further_o inform_v whether_o all_o animal_n creature_n do_v continue_v their_o species_n by_o a_o successive_a propagation_n of_o particular_n and_o whether_o in_o every_o species_n the_o offspring_n do_v always_o resemble_v their_o generator_n or_o producer_n both_o in_o their_o interior_a and_o exterior_a figure_n they_o answer_v her_o majesty_n that_o some_o species_n or_o sort_n of_o creature_n be_v keep_v up_o by_o a_o successive_a propagation_n of_o a_o offspring_n that_o be_v like_o the_o producer_n but_o some_o be_v not_o of_o the_o first_o rank_n say_v they_o be_v all_o those_o animal_n that_o be_v of_o different_a sex_n beside_o several_a other_o but_o of_o the_o second_o rank_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n those_o we_o call_v infect_v who_o production_n proce_v from_o such_o cause_n as_o have_v no_o conformity_n or_o likeness_n with_o their_o produce_v effect_n as_o for_o example_n maggot_n breed_v out_o of_o cheese_n and_o several_a other_o generate_v out_o of_o earth_n water_n and_o the_o like_a but_o say_v the_o empress_n there_o be_v some_o likeness_n between_o maggot_n and_o cheese_n for_o cheese_n have_v no_o blood_n and_o so_o neither_o have_v maggot_n beside_o they_o have_v almost_o the_o same_o taste_n which_o cheese_n have_v this_o prove_v nothing_o answer_v they_o for_o maggot_n have_v a_o visible_a local_a progressive_a motion_n which_o cheese_n have_v not_o the_o empress_n reply_v that_o when_o all_o the_o cheese_n be_v turn_v into_o maggot_n it_o may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v local_a progressive_a motion_n they_o answer_v that_o when_o the_o cheese_n by_o its_o own_o figurative_a motion_n be_v change_v into_o maggot_n it_o be_v no_o more_o cheese_n the_o empress_n confess_v that_o she_o observe_v nature_n be_v infinite_o various_a in_o her_o work_n and_o that_o though_o the_o species_n of_o creature_n do_v continue_v yet_o their_o particular_n be_v subject_a to_o infinite_a change_n but_o since_o you_o have_v inform_v i_o say_v she_o of_o the_o various_a sort_n and_o production_n of_o animal_n creature_n i_o desire_v you_o to_o tell_v i_o what_o you_o have_v observe_v of_o their_o sensitive_a perception_n true_o answer_v they_o your_o majesty_n put_v a_o very_a hard_a question_n to_o we_o and_o we_o shall_v hardly_o be_v able_a to_o give_v a_o satisfactory_a answer_n to_o it_o for_o there_o be_v many_o different_a sort_n of_o creature_n which_o as_o they_o have_v all_o different_a perception_n so_o they_o have_v also_o different_a organ_n which_o our_o sense_n be_v not_o able_a to_o discover_v only_o in_o a_o oystershell_n we_o have_v with_o admiration_n observe_v that_o the_o common_a sensorium_fw-la of_o the_o oyster_n lie_v just_a at_o the_o close_n of_o the_o shell_n where_o the_o pressure_n and_o reaction_n may_v be_v perceive_v by_o the_o open_n and_o shut_v of_o the_o shell_n every_o tide_n after_o all_o this_o the_o empress_n desire_v the_o worm-man_n to_o give_v she_o a_o true_a relation_n how_o frost_n be_v make_v upon_o the_o earth_n to_o which_o they_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v make_v much_o after_o the_o manner_n and_o description_n of_o the_o fish_n and_o bird-man_n concern_v the_o congelation_n of_o water_n into_o ice_n and_o snow_n by_o a_o commixture_n of_o saline_n and_o acid_a particle_n which_o relation_n add_v a_o great_a light_n to_o the_o ape-man_n who_o be_v the_o chemist_n concern_v their_o chemical_a principle_n salt_n sulphur_n and_o mercury_n but_o say_v the_o empress_n if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o will_v require_v a_o infinite_a multitude_n of_o saline_a particle_n to_o produce_v such_o a_o great_a quantity_n of_o ice_n frost_n and_o snow_n beside_o say_v she_o when_o snow_n ice_n and_o frost_n turn_v again_o into_o their_o former_a principle_n i_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o become_v of_o those_o saline_a particle_n but_o neither_o the_o wor-man_n nor_o the_o fish-and_a bird-man_n can_v give_v she_o a_o answer_n to_o it_o then_o the_o empress_n inquire_v of_o they_o the_o reason_n why_o spring_n be_v not_o as_o salt_n as_o the_o sea_n be_v also_o why_o spring_n do_v ebb_v and_o flow_v to_o which_o some_o answer_v that_o the_o ebb_a and_o flow_v of_o some_o spring_n be_v cause_v by_o hollow_a cavern_n within_o the_o earth_n where_o the_o sea-water_n crowd_v through_o do_v thrust_v forward_o and_o draw_v backward_o the_o spring-water_n according_a to_o its_o own_o way_n of_o ebb_a and_o flow_v but_o other_o say_v that_o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o small_a proportion_n of_o saline_n and_o acid_a particle_n which_o the_o spring-water_n imbibe_v from_o the_o earth_n and_o although_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o be_v perceive_v by_o the_o sense_n of_o taste_n yet_o be_v it_o enough_o to_o cause_v a_o ebb_a and_o flow_a motion_n and_o as_o for_o the_o spring-water_n be_v fresh_a
a_o faculty_n of_o know_v in_o every_o creature_n do_v yet_o deny_v nay_o rail_v against_o nature_n self-moving_a power_n condemn_v she_o as_o a_o dull_a inanimate_a senseless_a and_o irrational_a body_n as_o if_o a_o rational_a man_n can_v conceive_v that_o such_o a_o curious_a variety_n and_o contrivance_n of_o natural_a work_n shall_v be_v produce_v by_o a_o senseless_a and_o irational_a motion_n or_o that_o nature_n be_v full_a of_o immaterial_a spirit_n which_o do_v work_v natural_a matter_n into_o such_o various_a figure_n or_o that_o all_o this_o variety_n shall_v be_v cause_v by_o a_o immaterial_a motion_n which_o be_v generate_v out_o of_o nothing_o and_o annihilate_v in_o a_o moment_n for_o no_o man_n can_v conceive_v or_o think_v of_o motion_n without_o body_n and_o if_o it_o be_v above_o thought_n then_o sure_o it_o be_v above_o act_n but_o i_o rather_o cease_v to_o wonder_v at_o those_o strange_a and_o irregular_a opinion_n of_o mankind_n since_o even_o they_o themselves_o do_v justify_v and_o prove_v the_o variety_n of_o nature_n for_o what_o we_o call_v irregularity_n in_o nature_n be_v real_o nothing_o but_o a_o variety_n of_o nature_n motion_n and_o therefore_o if_o all_o man_n conceit_n fancy_n and_o opinion_n be_v rational_a there_o will_v not_o be_v so_o much_o variety_n as_o there_o be_v concern_v those_o that_o say_v there_o be_v no_o variety_n in_o the_o elemental_a kingdom_n as_o air_n water_n and_o earth_n air_n and_o water_n have_v no_o form_n at_o all_o unless_o a_o potentiality_n to_o be_v form_v into_o globule_n and_o that_o the_o clod_n and_o parcel_n of_o earth_n be_v all_o irregular_a i_o answer_v this_o be_v more_o than_o man_n be_v able_a to_o know_v but_o by_o reason_n their_o microscope_n can_v make_v such_o hermaphroditical_a figure_n of_o the_o element_n as_o they_o can_v of_o mineral_n vegetable_n and_o animal_n they_o conclude_v there_o be_v no_o such_o variety_n in_o they_o when_o as_o yet_o we_o do_v plain_o perceive_v that_o there_o be_v several_a sort_n of_o air_n fire_n water_n earth_n and_o no_o doubt_n but_o these_o several_a sort_n and_o their_o particular_n be_v as_o various_o figure_v as_o other_o creature_n true_o it_o be_v no_o consequence_n to_o deny_v the_o be_v of_o that_o which_o we_o do_v not_o see_v or_o perceive_v for_o this_o be_v to_o attribute_v a_o universal_a and_o infinite_a knowledge_n to_o our_o weak_a and_o imperfect_a sense_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v believe_v that_o the_o omnipotent_a creator_n have_v write_v and_o engrave_v his_o most_o mysterious_a design_n and_o counsel_n only_o in_o one_o sort_n of_o creature_n since_o all_o part_n of_o nature_n their_o various_a production_n and_o curious_a contrivance_n do_v make_v know_v the_o omnipotency_n of_o god_n not_o only_o those_o of_o little_a but_o also_o those_o of_o great_a size_n for_o in_o all_o figure_n size_n and_o action_n be_v apparent_a the_o curious_a variety_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o omnipotency_n of_o the_o cretor_n who_o have_v give_v nature_n a_o self-moving_a power_n to_o produce_v all_o these_o variety_n in_o herself_o which_o variety_n do_v evident_o prove_v that_o nature_n do_v not_o work_v in_o all_o creature_n alike_o nor_o that_o she_o have_v but_o one_o primary_n or_o principal_a sort_n of_o motion_n by_o which_o she_o produce_v all_o creature_n as_o some_o do_v conceive_v the_o manner_n of_o wreathe_v and_o unwrethe_v which_o they_o have_v observe_v in_o the_o beard_n of_o a_o wild-oat_n mention_v before_o to_o be_v the_o first_o foot_n step_n of_o sensation_n and_o animate_v motion_n and_o the_o most_o plain_a simple_a and_o obvious_a contrivance_n nature_n have_v make_v use_n of_o to_o produce_v a_o motion_n next_o to_o that_o of_o rarefaction_n and_o condensation_n by_o heat_n and_o cold_a for_o this_o be_v a_o very_a wild_a and_o extravagant_a conceit_n to_o measure_v the_o infinite_a action_n of_o nature_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o one_o particular_a sort_n of_o motion_n which_o any_o one_o that_o have_v the_o perfect_a use_n of_o his_o sense_n and_o reason_n may_v easy_o see_v and_o therefore_o i_o need_v not_o to_o bring_v many_o argument_n to_o contradict_v it_o 16._o of_o the_o providence_n of_o nature_n and_o of_o some_o opinion_n concern_v motion_n concern_v those_o that_o speak_v of_o the_o providence_n of_o nature_n &_o the_o preserve_n of_o vegetable_n to_o wit_n that_o nature_n be_v very_o curious_a and_o careful_a in_o preserve_v their_o seminal_a principle_n and_o lay_v they_o in_o most_o convenient_a strong_a and_o delicate_a cabinet_n for_o their_o safe_a protection_n from_o outward_a danger_n i_o confess_v nature_n may_v make_v such_o protection_n that_o one_o creature_n may_v have_v some_o defence_n from_o the_o injury_n and_o assault_n of_o its_o fellow-creature_n but_o these_o assault_n be_v nothing_o but_o dissolve_v motion_n as_o friendly_a and_o amiable_a association_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o compose_v motion_n neither_o can_v any_o thing_n be_v lose_v in_o nature_n for_o even_o the_o least_o particle_n of_o nature_n remain_v as_o long_o as_o nature_n herself_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o providence_n in_o nature_n then_o certain_o nature_n have_v knowledge_n and_o wisdom_n and_o if_o she_o have_v knowledge_n and_o wisdom_n than_o she_o have_v sense_n and_o reason_n and_o if_o sense_n and_o reason_n than_o she_o have_v self-motion_n and_o if_o nature_n have_v self-motion_n than_o none_o of_o her_o part_n can_v be_v call_v inanimate_a or_o soul-less_a for_o motion_n be_v the_o life_n and_o soul_n of_o nature_n and_o of_o all_o her_o part_n and_o if_o the_o body_n be_v animate_v the_o part_n must_v be_v so_o too_o there_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o animate_v body_n of_o nature_n that_o can_v be_v dead_a or_o without_o motion_n whereof_o a_o instance_n may_v be_v give_v of_o animal_n body_n who_o part_n have_v all_o animal_n life_n as_o well_o as_o the_o body_n itself_o wherefore_o those_o that_o allow_v a_o soul_n or_o a_o inform_a actuate_a and_o animate_v form_n or_o faculty_n in_o nature_n and_o her_o part_n and_o yet_o call_v some_o part_n inanimate_a or_o soul-less_a do_v absolute_o contradict_v themselves_o and_o those_o that_o say_v all_o the_o variety_n of_o nature_n be_v produce_v not_o by_o self-motion_n but_o that_o one_o part_n move_v another_o must_v at_o last_o come_v to_o something_o that_o move_v itself_o beside_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a that_o one_o part_n move_v another_o shall_v produce_v all_o thing_n so_o orderly_o and_o wise_o as_o they_o be_v in_o nature_n but_o those_o that_o say_v motion_n be_v no_o substance_n and_o consequent_o not_o material_a and_o yet_o allow_v a_o generation_n and_o annihilation_n of_o motion_n speak_v in_o my_o opinion_n nonsense_n for_o first_o how_o can_v self-motion_n the_o author_n and_o producer_n of_o all_o thing_n work_v all_o the_o variety_n that_o be_v in_o nature_n and_o be_v nothing_o itself_o next_o how_o can_v that_o which_o be_v nothing_o for_o all_o that_o be_v not_o material_a be_v nothing_o in_o nature_n or_o no_o part_n of_o nature_n be_v generate_v and_o annihilate_v nay_o if_o motion_n be_v material_a as_o sure_o it_o be_v yet_o there_o can_v neither_o be_v a_o new_a generation_n nor_o a_o annihilation_n of_o any_o particular_a motion_n in_o nature_n for_o all_o that_o be_v material_a in_o nature_n have_v its_o be_v in_o and_o from_o infinite_a matter_n which_o be_v from_o eternity_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o other_o new_a matter_n shall_v be_v create_v beside_o this_o infinite_a matter_n out_o of_o which_o all_o natural_a thing_n consist_v or_o that_o any_o part_n of_o this_o matter_n shall_v be_v lose_v or_o annihilate_v but_o perhaps_o those_o that_o believe_v new_a generation_n and_o annihilation_n of_o particular_a motion_n may_v say_v that_o their_o opinion_n be_v not_o as_o if_o those_o particular_a motion_n be_v generate_v out_o of_o some_o new_a matter_n but_o that_o the_o matter_n of_o such_o motion_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o matter_n of_o all_o other_o natural_a creature_n and_o that_o their_o perish_a or_o annihilation_n be_v not_o a_o utter_a destruction_n or_o loss_n of_o their_o be_v out_o of_o nature_n but_o only_o of_o be_v such_o or_o such_o a_o motion_n like_v as_o some_o vegetable_n and_o element_n be_v generate_v and_o perish_v in_o one_o night_n true_o if_o their_o meaning_n be_v thus_o than_o it_o be_v better_a to_o name_v it_o a_o alteration_n or_o change_n of_o motion_n rather_o than_o a_o new_a generation_n and_o a_o perish_a or_o annihilation_n but_o my_o intention_n be_v not_o to_o plead_v for_o other_o man_n opinion_n but_o rather_o to_o clear_v my_o own_o which_o be_v that_o motion_n be_v material_a for_o figure_n motion_n and_o matter_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n and_o that_o no_o particular_a motion_n be_v or_o can_v be_v lose_v in_o nature_n nor_o create_v anew_o as_o
particular_n do_v oppose_v each_o other_o yet_o all_o opposition_n tend_v to_o the_o conservation_n of_o a_o general_a peace_n and_o unity_n in_o the_o whole_a but_o to_o return_v to_o fire_n since_o air_n be_v the_o proper_a matter_n of_o respiration_n for_o fire_n extreme_a cold_n and_o frost_n either_o of_o air_n or_o vapour_n be_v as_o unfit_a for_o the_o respiration_n of_o fire_n as_o water_n

wherefore_o experimental_a philosopher_n can_v just_o blame_v i_o for_o maintain_v the_o opinion_n of_o self-motion_n and_o a_o general_a perception_n in_o nature_n but_o to_o return_v to_o

for_o if_o one_o part_n of_o matter_n have_v self-motion_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v of_o all_o the_o rest_n but_o if_o immaterial_a it_o must_v either_o be_v god_n himself_o or_o create_v supernatural_a
